Perfect Fatal Flash stands as the pinnacle of counter-attacks in Ninja Gaiden 4, offering players a powerful yet challenging maneuver to execute. Despite its in-game description, many gamers struggle to consistently trigger this skill. Here, insights are provided on mastering the Perfect Fatal Flash with every parry, ensuring you can unleash its full potential.
Mastering the Perfect Fatal Flash Technique
Perfect Fatal Flash is the most devastating counter-attack in Ninja Gaiden 4
To harness the power of the Perfect Fatal Flash, players must first acquire the required skills. Start by purchasing the Fatal Flash and Perfect Fatal Flash from Tyran, costing 900 and 27,000 NinjaCoins respectively. To effectively execute the move, follow these steps:
1. Acquire the **Fatal Flash** and **Perfect Fatal Flash** skills from Tyran.
2. Parry an attack using any attack button (Square/X for light attack, Triangle/Y for heavy attack) just before the enemy lands a hit on Yakumo or Ryu.
3. At the precise moment, press the heavy attack button (Triangle/Y), or use the Bloodraven/Gleam Form button (L2/Left Trigger).
If successful, a cinematic sequence will show a red cross on the enemy, resulting in their immediate dismemberment, regardless of their health.
Consistency with Perfect Fatal Flash
Press the heavy attack button (Triangle/Y) or the Bloodraven/Gleam Form button (L2/Left Trigger) when your character is glowing to unleash a Perfect Fatal Flash
The key to consistently performing Perfect Fatal Flash lies in impeccable timing. Activating the skill requires pressing the heavy attack button (Triangle/Y) precisely as Yakumo’s and Ryu’s bodies begin to glow, approximately one second post-parry. Avoid button mashing, as it may result in a standard Fatal Flash.
Utilizing Ninja Gaiden 4’s training mode is an effective way to hone your timing. Enter the Training Settings menu and follow these steps:
1. Choose an enemy for practice.
2. Set their behavior to Normal.
3. Enable unlimited health to ensure only an Obliteration attack post-Perfect Fatal Flash can defeat the training dummy, validating your execution.
